Hi..it's been 11 days after right hip replacement...I did call the doctors office..the receptionist is going to let the Dr know...but I don't think he'll get back to me in time...I have an emergency dentist appointment tomorrow morning...they aren't going to drill...I just need 2 front caps/crowns recemented....I'm on a blood thinner...I know I'm supposed to be on antibiotics before dental procedures...but what if they aren't going to drill? I need my front teeth to eat...I'm hardly eating as it is from taking diaudid and losing too much weight...I already don't feel so attractive cuz I was told not to shave my legs...I definitely can't go around without front teeth! It even makes u talk funny if u don't have your front teeth...so I'm gonna go to the dentist..it'll be my first time outside in 11 days! I've tried temporary cement in the past..didn't work out so good.

    Hi Joyce, Ann here am in similar boat as you, had hip replaced eleven days ago and due to go to dentist in three weeks for tooth extraction, when I asked for antibiotics she said I am not allowed to prescribe them, this is uk Nhs new rules, so will have to ask my go or cancel dentist as I have no back teeth need new dentures. Awful isn't it!!

    The dentist was rude...he recemented the crowns...he said I'm gonna ask u not to talk ....and not talk for an hour....I'm not supposed to eat for an hour...not not talk and he said I need new crowns but I just got them a few years ago...the way he spoke to me was rude..I should've said to him..I'm gonna ask u not to be a jerk.

      Sometime we never know what people are batteling in their daily lives.

      some have been thru more than others. Be kind to patients is a good motto no matter how difficult life can be. 

      You have been thru some stressful events lately it's hard to take cross attitudes from professionals especially in this case. 

      Dont take it personally. We all have bad days! 

      Get well he'll soon and soon you'll be dancing like the wind!

      Peace & Heeling sent your way.
